Ekuthuleni means ‘place of peace’. The lodge is situated in the centre of Welgevonden and offers sweeping views of the savannah. Watch the sun set from the deck and the animals passing by the unfenced camp. You’re invited to relax next to the swimming pool or if the weather is cool, curl up with a book in one of the comfortable lounges before enjoying a delicious meal in the cosy dining room or the sheltered open-air deck.

Guests are accommodated in five luxury thatched suites. Each offers intimacy and privacy, with magnificent views of the grasslands, giving a whole new meaning to nature on your doorstep. The romantic bathrooms open onto a private courtyard and have both indoor and outdoor showers. The sense of peace and serenity is enhanced by Ekuthuleni being free of mobile-phone reception.

Twice-daily game drives are conducted by experienced guides who will provide fascinating details of the abundant flora and fauna, many of which are unique to the Waterberg Biosphere.
